Understanding the Relationship Between 0 and Infinity

Click For Summary
The discussion explores the conceptual relationship between zero and infinity, suggesting that both are undefined and share a unique connection. It posits that infinity can be viewed as starting from both zero and itself, indicating a dual nature. The conversation raises questions about whether negative infinity alters the dynamics of positive infinity as they approach zero. It challenges the notion of infinity's existence if both positive and negative aspects converge on zero. Ultimately, the dialogue highlights the complexities and paradoxes inherent in understanding these mathematical concepts.

With the real number line. 0 is before -1 and 1.

Both zero, and infinity are undefined.

How does 0 touch infinity. Both are the same value, and start at 0, so for there to be infinity either infinity starts from infinity, or infinity starts from 0.

In fact infinity has both values. It starts from 0, and infinity. Because infinity travels to 0, and zero travels to infinity.

0 Goes both ways. Positive and negative, so infinity must also. So Infinity must touch zero by traveling to zero, and zero also travels to infinity.

Then does negative infinity change the polarization of positive infinity traveling through 0, or do both infinities move towards zero from infinity. Then both factors of infinity, the positive and negative, move towards 0. So is there really infinity if both the positive and negative aspects of it move to 0.

0 is undefined?
 
Polarization of positive infinity?
 
This is nonsensical.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
